Default putting narrow beach bars on the crossbones

i wasnt going to change the handle bars but seems like im having freaking shoulder pain after riding. maybe its the riding in rush hour traffic that keeps me tensed up


been looking at the narrow beach bars.

you guys with beach bars pretty happy with the feel of the bike?

I love them on my ride, they fit me perfect. Finally hit on a set of bars that work great on my ride. But of course we're different, what works for me may not work for others. But the great part is they're only about $60.00 and work with stock length wiring & cables.

+1 on that!

Very happy with them. Had them put on when I bought the bike. Have a bad shoulder from an accident 40 years ago, can't stand having my right arm too high for a long period. These narrow bars are very comfortable for me.

You wont find many people running beach bars who dont love them. Seems there are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who love beach bars, and those who love apes. Ive got the wide ones and couldnt be happier. For me the amount of pullback is more important to comfort than the width.

And then there are those of us who love them both and can't decide which ones to put on our bikes. Got apes now, might have to get another bike so I can put beach bars on it...
